Phillips CD-i Game music

This was also emailled to devin via the Black Moon Project contact link, but I thought I'd post it to the forums to see if anyone else could help too:
"Hey, I've got a question that you might be able to help me with. I was talking to a friend reciently, and she brought up this tetris game that she played when she was younger, through a bit of deduction we figured out it was the Tetris that was on the Phillips CD-i.
Now, she mentioned that the music from this tetris game affected her very much when she played it when she was younger, so I went on a little self-imposed quest to try to find the music.
I came up with nothing. So, I went to the next step and downloaded an image of the game (bad, I know, but I really wanted to get her this music) and a copy of ISO buster. I got the file downloaded, did some research at the ICDIA, and much to my dismay, the music wasn't in the IFF format that I could rip onto my computer, but in the RTF format (I deduced that a file called RTA.RTF is the file in question, and I think I'm right).
So, I tried the next logical step and got the CD-i emulator thinking I could just play the game and rip the audio directly into winamp from the audio output, I've done the same before with file formats which weren't able to be converted directly into wav or mp3 files. But this didn't work for me either. I realize now you actually need a Phillips CD-i to use the emulator (which I don't understand, but that's neither here nor there, and not what I'm emailing you about).
Basically, I have a dilemma here. I've put hours into this already and come up with nothing but a useless .nrg cd rip of this tetris game, some raw files I can't do anything with, and a headache. If there's anything at all you could do to help me to get this music, point me to someone else who has it or could rip it, give me some info as to how I could rip it myself from the rtf file, anything at all, I would be extremely greatful.
Thanks for your time,
Jeff Kirchoff"
I apoligize if I'm out of line, I understand the problem with pirated games and whatnot nowadays, I just really want to get this game music for my friend, just a bit of nostalgia I want to give her, I guess.
Thanks for any help.
